The xosd Driver
This section talks about using LCDproc with libxosd.
libxosd is a system that displays text on top of your X-Windows screen, much like the on-screen display (OSD) used by most modern televisions and video-players.

Configuration in LCDd.conf

[xosd]
Size = 	 set display size [default: 20x4]
Offset = X-OFFSET x Y-OFFSET 	 Offset (in pixels) of the top-left corner of LCDproc's xosd window from the top-left corner of the monitor. If not given, it defaults to 0x0.
Font = FONT 	 X font to use, in XLFD (X Logical Font Description) format, as given by the xfontsel property. E.g. -*-terminus-*-r-*-*-*-320-*-*-*-*-*.
For best results it is recommended to use a mono-spaced font to mimic the aspect of a physical LCD display that most clients expect with regard to their screen layouts.
Contrast = CONTRAST 	 Set the initial contrast. Legal values for CONTRAST are 0 - 1000. If not given, the default value is 500.
This parameter can be set but it does not change anything in the driver.
Brightness = BRIGHTNESS 	 Set the initial brightness [default: 1000; legal: 1 - 1000]
OffBrightness = BRIGHTNESS 	 Set the initial off-brightness [default: 500; legal: 1 - 1000] This value is used when the display is normally switched off in case LCDd is inactive
